Paul's Kitchen

Wow, what a find this place is. Paul's isn't upscale gourmet food by any means, but it is very good down home comfort food. The place is a converted house with an addition. It's clean and the service is friendly and attentive. The menu is a nice size with daily specials and hugh portions. I saw several members of our group who had 2 plates, one was for the entree and the other was just for the sides. Crazy huh? I'll go back here anytime.

My girlfriend and I found this restaurant through a recommendation from our tour guide ( an expedition on the Peace River).   The restaurant is housed in a former residence just off of Main Street.  We were greeted very warmly upon entering.  The place is very clean and informal.  The cuisine is Southern U.S.   We started with the fried pickles and wings.  Soup (lentil) was served from a clean communal kettle.   The wings were fried with a nice crispy batter.  The pickles tasted awesome.  We both ordered the chicken fried steak.  The chicken fried steak with white gravy was awesome!  Great layers of fried goodness wrapped around meat... The mashed potatoes that accompanied the steak were homemade and tasty.   The waitress who served us was very polite and quick with service.  The only downside is that beer is not served,  hence a star was taken off.  That meal would have been even better with a cold beer!    If you are in the area give them a visit.   Did I mention that the prices were extremely reasonable.

My parents recommended this place for good down home cooking, but I still didn't know to expect when we pulled into this converted house. I should've expected butter - lots of it. And that ain't always a bad thing.

I had a ribeye (10oz, I think) with fried shrimp for $13 or so. It came with soup, salad and generous portions of sides. The fried shrimp was a little too bready and greasy for my liking, but everything else
